not to get ahead of ourselves but i believe most of these games will be one goal games or tied late in the third and with a few breaks you can win the series in 4-5 games…that would be huge to get rest….

huge win…good news we won did not score on the pp and that will change…i had to pvr the last 4 minutes…waited about 10 minutes and sneakily checked the scoreboard on centre ice and saw there was a final beside the game so i knew they won..

I love that last video clip Boone! Terrific. Chara was awful with the puck and classless at the end of the game with that assault on Plekanec. And Thomas showed once again why he’s the most overrated goalie in the league. He’s lucky we didn’t score 5 or 6 with the number of open nets he gave up.

Lots of guys had great games. Obviously Price, Pleks (who could have had 3), Gio, and (HURRAY!) Gomez. But did anyone else think Travis Moen had a great one, too? Not spectacular, but always a thorn in the side of the Bruins.

Great team effort backed up by stellar goaltending. Habs could have had 5 or 6 with this style of play. Bruins really started to be frustrated at the end of the 2nd period.
Way to block those pucks and protect Price.
Looked an awful lot like last year at this time….

Anyone who says Chara is a clean player never watched this over-sized thug. First he purposely throw his elbow at Plekanec then starts punching Plekanec while the Hab who is about 80 pounds lighter in weight, while he is prone on the ice.

One game does not a series make, but if they continue to play like this and constantly frustrate the gooins (getting in their heads) then we can win this series against these Mother F***ers! GO HABS GO!!!

Disagree Bill. Maybe it wasn’t quite “perfection” but it was an excellent game. Boston is a good team and no team in the league is going to completely shut these guys down. They’re going to get chances.

Sorry Bill, I realized after I said it that you were one of the ones I was referring to. But I disagree with you on this point. After going through the roller coaster ride last spring that so many attributed to a magic goalie I was sure there was more to that magic carpet ride. This game kind of sealed it for me. JM’s so-called system has wheels.

Should they have been down by 2 or 3? Yep, no question, just like against the Caps and Pens last year. But they weren’t so what’s the reason? Another magic goalie? Or is it the system that forces plays and shots to the outside, blocks shots before they reach the net and creates brief outbursts of furious offensive opportunities?

Tonight wasn’t simply about one single player, as you well note.Team effort all around.

Unreal! An absolutely fantastic win. If nothing else this win is to give the confidence back that they can do it against the bruins.

However… however… I don’t think Bruins played their best hockey. They got sucked into Mtl’s game and paid for it. I guarantee they will try as hard as possible not to play the Habs game on Saturday. Saturday will be so so so much tougher.

That being said, tonight I rejoice and say “FU, Bruins” and along with my 2 year old I shout “GO HABS GO!!!!”
